I see people always saying that android Firefox sucks. What are the reasons you can't use it? (I use Mull a Firefox privacy fork)

I still wonder why people say it sucks when chrome and brave which I both tried had the same stuff

What are the reasons you can’t use it?

You can't manually import your bookmarks, and Firefox-based browsers on Android lack Site Isolation. Who protects you against a malicious site performing a Spectre-like attack to gain access to the memory of another website you have open. Chromium-based browsers like Brave do have this.

Seeing how you're using a fork. Why you don't use Firefox?
